I said it's old school because its on the ps1, even though i had and played my ps1 all the time. Its been I think 11 years now since Chrono Cross was released so that's old enough to me xD but that's just my viewpoint on it

I sorta wish Square made games like they use to. Final Fantasy 12 was decent but 13 was just to linear for me..so playing games like chrono cross, that i missed out on are like great new experiences :3Im not saying i HATE 13, i just find most of squares older games better.

Ah, don't sweat it. I was more bemoaning the fact that games that still 'feel' new to me are actually over a decade old. 'Course it doesn't help that some of these games I haven't even played yet. KF

Just recently I realized that we are twice as far removed today from the release of Final Fantasy VII than we were from the NA release of Final Fantasy I when FFVII came out (14 years vs. 7 years). It's a crazy thing for me to think since it doesn't seem long ago to me that FFVII was almost universally accepted as the dividing line between "old school" and "new school" Final Fantasies/Square games/RPGs.

This reminds me that at some point I need to sit down and try Chrono Cross again. I didn't like it from the little I played of it the first time, but I probably just needed to play more of it. Too many games I need to play again or just play period. I'm glad I didn't get any games this holiday season. XD

Your opinion of Chrono Cross has my support.

And to be quite honest I'm not sure that a Chrono Trigger 2 or Chrono Break would have been any better. Chrono Cross is one of those games I wish didn't exist. The same goes with Lunar: Dragon Song. Games like that are the reason I don't go around begging for sequels for games, often times you wind up disappointed with the result.

Square released a ton of games in 1999-2000, and compared to those Chrono Cross was good. Compared to Chrono Trigger's characters and story, it falls short. It's good for what it is, and while the massive supporting cast have almost no character development I still think it's enjoyable enough to drop $10 to play on a PSP.

People in other forums seem to want a new Chrono game, but I dread the thought. After playing through the 3rd Birthday, I'm fairly convinced that Squenix isn't capable of putting a good story anymore, and it would probably have great graphics, a nice soundtrack, but end up being a terrible game overall.
